ethereal 20,923 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 melon's top ten during peak hours is literally 9/10 idols with 6/10 being groups. this goes beyond fangirls and fanboys "mass streaming". it makes me wonder if they will soon stop stigmatizing idols. because while there are always comments about "why are our award shows full of idols11!!1" the answer is right here. there are an increasing amount of legitimately popular-in-korea idols.

bb4 25,058 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 True they always look down in idols as if they don't enjoy their music when they clearly do They look down on idols because they think they're pretty puppets not because of their music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platty 4,891 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I mean there's a difference between liking a song and liking the idol/group. But yeah I can see what you mean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briar Rose 7,488 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 The market is saturated with idols so it makes sense that their music would be the most consumed. They look down on idols mostly for many reasons not just their music but I agree that they are a bit hypocritical Even if they listen to idol music, how many of these idols do you think they would feel proud of representing them at the Olympics opening or closing ceremony? Probably not your faves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moa_Nunu 3,109 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Like it or not idols helped to put South Korea on the map so I'm sure even if they say they don't like them, the reality is they have a lot of pride in their idols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECIâ„¢ 3,974 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I think they are just embarrassed to admit they listen to idols Its the same in the rest of the world. when 1D were really popular people didnt say they were fans because they were embarrassed, same with Bieber (that changed with his last album) but before that nobody would admit in public they listened to his music Its easier for men to say they like girlgroups but listening to a boygroup is like a crime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
